BIO-330 Animal Conservation (3)

As human populations and related pressures threaten the wellbeing of nonhuman species and their habitats, humans increasingly are faced with deciding which species should receive attention and support and at what cost to humans. Can ethical reasoning help clarify human choices and their impacts? This course uses a case study approach to learn about the science of animal conservation and explore the ethical challenges of reconciling the conservation of nature and the needs of people.
